How can a piece of iron be induced into becoming a magnet? For example, if you place a paper clip near a magnet, it will itself become a magnet. Why?
To Explain: The way, a piece of iron can be induced into becoming a magnet.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A piece of iron can be induced into becoming a magnet by magnetization.
When a piece of iron is rubbed with a magnet, the north poles of the domains get arranged in the same direction in the iron. These aligned domains generate a magnetic field and the iron piece becomes a magnet.
The paperclips are not stick together as they are not magnetic naturally. However, steel in the paperclip can be magnetized by a magnet.
Conclusion:
A piece of iron can be induced into becoming a magnet by magnetization.
